I am 2-4 at one point I was #7 and then I finally said maybe it isn't going to be all that bad.

I'm definitely a SP!!!!!!

[The Ola Depot 1,213]

I'm a 2 at the beginning, maybe even a 1 sometimes but then as the season goes along, and I'm usually wrong about what I thought, I become a 3. If it gets bad enough (last year) I can become a 6.

[bronkonagurski 894]

2.5

 

I'm generally optimistic about all of my teams before the season starts but I also have a sense of reality in place. 

[mjrhoosier 5]

Always #2!

[schoosier 3,500]

Year 1. 6 Pessimistic.
Year 2. 3 Realist.
Year 3. 2 Optimistic.
Year 4. 2 Optimistic
Year 5. 1 Pumping major sunshine.
Year 6. 5 Knew we wouldn't overachieve. Actually became indifferent for first time since Davis years.
Year 7. 9 Love the kids. Crean can't coach. Still want us to win. Crean can't coach.

I gave Crean 5 years to get it turned around and stable. Year six was dismal and going into this year we're going to get killed inside without a master on the sidelines to draw or figure it out. Sorry, I agree with the other prognosticators even when its my alma mater. If only every game could be like Wisconsin last year, we would be on to something. Unfortunately, the Wisconsin game sticks out because it happens very rarely and shows how unprepared his staff normally is come gametime.

Last year was bad. Crean making coaching errors was forgivable for me, what really bothered me was the utter lack of game plan and play books. Watching an IU game was watching an offense dribble a ball with no concept of what to do until the last 5 seconds, just to make a move out of total desperation. I think that the shooters really open up an offense, and it will have to, because I'm not sure the offensive play book is very detailed. Having great shooters make it a lot harder for defenses and if they can hit consistent threes, IU will be a very dangerous team come March.

I'll have an order of #2, please.

 

Hold the fries.

[Hovadipo 56,499]

Cautiously optimistic! If it doesn't work out? Drink heavily!!!

Anybody impressed at the size of Emmits shoulders? He's going to be huge when coach JJ gets finished sculpting him!

Gentle giant. Extremely nice guy.

[Parakeet Jones 3,774]

Gentle giant. Extremely nice guy.

He had better not be that way on the court. 

[Hovadipo 56,499]

He had better not be that way on the court.

Well yeah. That'd be ideal.

[FortWayneHoosier 6,200]

I'm 2 and 3. I'm optimistic because I think this team will be better than last years. I'm also 3 because I know that shooting isn't everything and that we need a "big" man.

NaplesHoosier---I agree on Holt----I think he has a HUGE upside---literally---with that frame and that wingspan he is going to be a load to handle and fun to watch in the near future!

[CampHoosier 3,697]

1. Sunshine Pumper

2. Optimistic

3. Realist

I've actually heard the opposite on the playbook .Way too many set plays that are complicated to learn.

Couple that with the constant turnover of the roster and you have a recipe for disaster.The addition of shooters will help a lot but the absence of motion and reliance on the dribble drive will still be there.

That's just my opinion though.

Back to topic ,I would have to mirror Camp Crean, All but 5 and 8.

Could never be indifferent,love IU hoops to much.

I have come real close to the doom and gloom but then i just get drunk and feel better.

[TomPritchard25 526]

I love bringing back dead threads.

I am a realist that is 110% certain we have a shot at winning the big ten  this year.
